	I must say I agree with Ras. If of the upper classes, it is the
steward's job to see that things are properly managed so the feast/famine
thing doesn't happen. It is a mark of good housewifery and thrift for the
lesser folk to manage well their resourses. When times are good, we put
away against the leaner times. Goodman of Paris would concurr, I'm sure.
